Hello All,

I upgraded our ipa server and after the upgrade ipa won't start again. further investigation shows that components of ipa starts but pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service appears to be where the issue lies. checking the logs suggested that issue lies in the certificate database. on checking the directory /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias with certutils

[namead@ipasvr01 alias]$ sudo certutil -K -d . -f pwdfile.txt
certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services" < 0> rsa      9bb20dbec9d8dd63e1db53b0662eaf37a1518bf9   ocspSigningCert cert-pki-ca < 1> rsa      49d9f7a5f5ab3ed93d4037676b1bf9e236b89d0f   subsystemCert cert-pki-ca < 2> rsa      df374a636d9a424aaefefc6367dcb868f82f536d   Server-Cert cert-pki-ca

Any help in the deleting the key would be appreciated.
The certutil command can delete a key from a NSS database (certutil -F -k <id> -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias). But before you delete this private key, can you explain how you deduced that it was the root cause? I wouldn't advise to delete a private key if you're not 100% sure you need to.

Pki failing to start after an upgrade often happens when the certificate "subsystemCert cert-pki-ca" stored in /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias does not match the content of the usercertificate or description stored in uid=pkidbuser,ou=people,o=ipaca.

Thanks
